Frank Jeans Pattern

Description Meet Frank, the jeans pattern that adapts to you. Inspired by classic heritage denim with a close fit through the hips and a cheeky cut through the seat, Frank offers mix-and-match options for rise and leg shape so that you can create the jeans of your dreams. With traditional details like a five-pocket design, fly-front zipper, angled yoke, contoured waistband, and belt loops, Frank will become the foundation of your denim wardrobe, a pattern you'll remix and repeat for years to come. To build your perfect jeans, choose from the following rise and leg shape options: Mid-rise – sits just below your belly button for everyday comfort High rise – sits approximately one inch below your natural waist for a vintage-inspired fit that is still comfortable to wear Barrel leg – a contemporary shape with knee darts and a slightly cropped inseam Straight leg – a true classic, available in 30" and 32" inseams Wide leg – a sophisticated, timeless silhouette available in 30" and 32" inseams Sizes 14-32 Sizes 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 Inches Full Bust 42" 44" 46" 48" 50" 52" 54" 56" 58" 60" High Bust 38" 40" 42" 44" 46" 48" 50" 52" 54" 56" Waist 35" 37" 39" 41" 43" 45" 47" 49" 51" 53" Hips 45" 47" 49" 51" 53" 55" 57" 59" 61" 63" Centimeters Full Bust 107 112 117 122 127 132 137 142 147 152.5 High Bust 97 102 107 112 117 122 127 132 137 142 Waist 89 94 99 104 109 114 119 124.5 129.5 134.5 Hips 114 119 124.5 129.5 134.5 140 145 150 155 160 The 14-32 size range is drafted for D cup, with a pear-shaped lower body and an average height of 5'-6". Cup size = difference between full and high bust (1"=A, 2"=B, 3"=C, 4"=D). If your difference exceeds 4", you may need a full bust adjustment. If your difference is smaller, you may need a small bust adjustment. Note: even if your numeric size overlaps with the 0-20 range, body measurements are not the same — always size by measurements, not past size.

Please note that heavier weight denims will require more “breaking in". It is also possible to use stretch denim for this pattern, but we recommend a maximum of 2% lycra content.
